Improving Rehabilitation Through Innovative Technology

About the Center for Bionic Medicine

The Center for Bionic Medicine (CBM) is a research program at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Our goal is to improve the function and quality of life for individuals with amputations and other physical disabilities.

Comprising four integrated laboratories, our interdisciplinary team includes physicians, prosthetists, therapists, engineers, software developers, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students. With valuable input from our patients, we focus on creating clinically viable technologies that advance prosthesis design and control and allow individuals with amputations to live more independently.
